Amatullah has such a sweet soul and is very comforting.

Affordable with flexible payments options. I was able to have most of my testing performed from the comfort of my own home and sent to a lab. She empowers you and provides you with all the tools and information necessary to make informed decisions. This was my first pregnancy and she made sure that I was not worried at all. My labor was so quick and of course it was painful but absolutely no suffering because Amatullah (Felicia) and her team made sure I was prepared and constantly reminded me that I was capable. Amatullah has such a sweet soul and is very comforting. I would certainly recommend anyone who wants a wonderful homebirth experience to work with Trusting Hands.

Trusting Hands Midwifery was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout pregnancy and birth. I thrived with Sister Amatullah’s calm and gentle demeanor. It helped ground me and keep me centered. I appreciated the constant reminders towards faith and trust in Allah throughout my journey — a breath of fresh air. I also appreciated Sr Amatullah’s respectful and kind attitude towards my home and family alhamdulillah. Her care and love were evident and she went above and beyond her role as a midwife — truly a sister and mentor.
